eBay framework released as open-source

We've just launched a new ebay codebase project at 
https://xui-ebay-richclient.codebase.ebay.com/.

The project extends the open-source XUI framework 
(http://ww.sf.net/projects/xui) to facilitate the construction of 
rich-client applications for eBay.

The goals of the project are two fold. First we want to build 
rich-client applications that make it easier for end users to interact 
with eBay. Rich-client can help in this regard by caching information 
locally and reducing the need for round trips to the server.

Secondly we want to make the developer's life a little easier by taking 
care of some low level plumbing, particularly some of the details 
surround the SOAP interfaces. Even though there is a Java SDK for eBay 
we feel that a higher level/more abstracted api would be better for 
everyday use and hence we have wrapped some of the APIs.

The project includes a demo application to show how the framework can be 
used. It is a StoreManager design for people and companies who want to 
setup and manage eBay stores.

We hope you'll find it of interest and if it is let us know what you 
think - good bar or indifferent!
